ries'of nozzles are each flexibly connected to a pipe to permit of adjustment, and the ob-. jects of my improvements are, first, to provide a longitudlnal pipe and a rotative con-- nection of said pipe with the supply pipe and source of water supply second, to provide a rod connecting said series of nozzles;

third, to provide guides for said rod attached at intervals to said pipe; and fourth, to provide a lever attached to longitudinal pipe and to said rod for rotating said pipe.

attain these objects by the mechanism lllustrated by the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete device. Figs. 2 and 3 are detailed views of the connection between the connecting rod and nozzle. Figs. 4 and 5'sh0w the connection.- between the hose and nozzle. Fig. 6 shows one of the, guides for the connecting rods. Figs. T and 8 are details showing the clamp connecting the operating lever to the pipe; and Figs. 9 and 10 show cormection between the lever and connecting ro Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

closed, as shown in Fig. 1, where it will be seen that flexible hose M, are fastened to .the tee couplings by clamps I, a nozzle being connected to the outer end of each of said hose; the nozzles are connected by a rod L,

which passes through the guides D mounted on the pipes O. A lever P is pivoted to clamp B on pipe 0 and to the rod L at E. The pipe 0 is connected to a supply pipe Q. by a ball joint K, which permits the pipe to rotate.' The lever P serves both to rotate the pipe and to shift the position of the nozzles.

I claim-- 1. The combination in a water sprinkler of a longitudinal pipe rotatively connected with a source of water supply, a series of nozzles each connected to said pipe by flexible hose, a rod connecting said nozzles, guides for said rod, and a lever for rotating said pipe and operating said rod to adjust the position of the nozzles substantially as set forth.

2. The combination in a water sprinkler of a rotary pipe, a series of nozzles flexibly connected thereto, a rod connecting said nozzles, a lever connected to said rod and pipe for rotating the pipe and shifting the position of the nozzles.
